Douz is a town in the Kebili Governorate in the south of Tunisia, known as the `gateway to the Sahara.`
It has been called the `ultimate palm oasis`, because it has over 500,000 palm trees in the area, and it is a major producer of `diglat noor` dates. In previous times it was an important stop on the trans-Saharan caravan routes. Douz is home to the Museum of the Sahara, which showcases displays on traditional nomadic desert culture of the Mrazig people who now mostly live a settled life in the town
